Quest 2020 Submission Information 

Uploading Your Work to OswegoDL

Oswego Digital Library

Welcome! OswegoDL asks for a lot of fields when you're uploading your work. Here are some tips on what information to put in which field:


Author: That's you! Enter your name as you would normally write it. If you have a co-author, hit the green plus sign so you can add their name in a separate box. 


Main Title: The title of your presentation.


Abstract: A couple sentences summarizing your work.


Note: If you're presenting on work you did for a course, enter the course number and your professor's name, like this:
Based on work for HDV 432 with Professor [professor's full name].


Publication Date: The date you presented your work at Quest, unless you've published your work elsewhere. (If so, list that date of publication.) For example: April 5, 2017.


Subject Keywords: List some words/phrases here that you think people might search for, related to your work. To add more than one, use the green plus sign to add additional boxes. For example:

  • children
  • mental health
  • pets

Publisher: If your work has been published elsewhere, list the publisher here.  Otherwise, you can leave this blank.


Resource Type: If you're going to upload a recording of your presentation, choose video or audio (whichever is appropriate). Otherwise, leave this dropdown set to Unknown


Related URL: You could link to your personal website / blog, your digital portfolio, a site where your work was previously published... whatever makes sense.


Upload Files: After you fill in the item description information listed above and click next, you will be asked to upload any related files. If you have a file you want to submit we suggest uploading a PDF for any non audio-visual submissions, like a conference paper, poster, or slideshow presentation. If you recorded any part of your Quest submission you can upload this as a standalone file or in addition to a PDF.
